"In an industry rife with jargon and snake oil, Lucy demystifies the dark arts of PR and cuts to the chase showing founders everywhere how to get the word out faster, more authentically and without a massive price tag. An essential read for anyone who wants to build a strong profile for their business or themselves." - Jeff Taylor, Editor in Chief, Courier Media

"PR has a deservedly bad reputation, which is why this book is so important: Lucy’s ideas for what PR is, and what it’s not, serve as a blueprint for what it should, and could be.

Essential bullshit-free guidance in a bullshit-rich industry.

I wish we’d had this book when we were starting out, in fact I wish the PR industry had read this book when it was starting out." - Sam Conniff Allende, Author of Be More Pirate, Founder of Livity, Digify

"The world of PR is often seen as a scary black box that is exclusively for big companies with influential networks. Well, Lucy takes a crowbar to that black box and shovels the contents straight into the world of small businesses. Lucy brings to light a plethora of actionable and approachable options for businesses built off the back of a wealth of experience and knowledge. What makes this book so special is Lucy’s clear focus and passion for delivering actionable content to small businesses. In a world where we are inundated with digital marketing campaigns, curating a more genuine connection with potential/actual customers is ever more important. This book is a beautifully written insight into how anyone can start building themselves a strong PR campaign that works for their business." - Albert Azis-Clauson, CEO & Founder @ UnderPinned

To someone with no knowledge of the PR world, it can seem intimidating and difficult to get started – however this book breaks that barrier down and makes it a world that everyone can be a part of. I would recommend this book to anyone starting their own business, it gives a clear, step by step guide to creating a full PR plan." - Nicky Marks, Managing Director, Censuswide
